No I just put to sea with a whole new fleet. I've re-done and they show up. Any undo in the naval phase completely screws the game up. If you want to undo then you should start the impulse over. Does this mean you want to re-think?

Oh, you have fleet there. I though all ships are in box 0. Can I choose 0 box only and use 4 points to sub combat?

warspite1

Yes the post says 3-box.

Yeah, I missed that. My priority was to sink CPs with sub, but I can also go with planes to box 3 if you are at that stage.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

If you are in naval air combat, don't use any points to AA fire. I think you have lowest of 4. Any points I may have are saved to increase damage.

[warspite1]

I've just re-done the impulse and seen the last two posts. What do you want me to do?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Choose only box 3 and attack with bombers.

[warspite1]

Damage points = 2 and a 1 point reduction - is that right??

Nothing happened - is this on half range maybe?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Correct, I had only one point or air to sea factors.

Allies stay and sub is included.

J/A 40 Allied 3

No DoW

France and China land, others combined.

Naval move
CW sends escorts to CSV box 0 and 4.
US sends CAs to East Coast.

CW declines all but Baltic Sea.

No more planes for Allies, I guess Germany don't send anymore either?

[warspite1]

I assume no ships or aircraft have moved in? If not then no thank-you.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Yes, nothing new in Baltic Sea.

Allied 5, Axis 2. Both high boxes find.

Germany has 2 points. They will automatically negate CW air power, so I use them to increase AA fire.

Rolls: 3 5 4 6.

No damage, new round is coming. I assume Axis stay?

[warspite1]

As said, I have no choice, so just assume the Germans stay until they are wiped out.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 2, axis 6. Only box 3 is chosen.

Looks like it's hard to do damage, I could sink one CP but it's not helping much as there are TRS and AMPH on sea too. So I have to hope bad rolls for AA. If Axis roll 1 (lowest of 4), then I do some damage.

All 5 points are saved.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

AA fire: 1 6 1 10

All points are used to increase damage to D 3A.

CW places D on TRS.

Where do you place first A? I guess on damaged TRS?

CW places next A on AMPH and after that Germany places last A.

[warspite1]

This just can't be happening?

[warspite1]

The last abort on the AMPH if possible - otherwise Bismarck.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

TRS was aborted.

APMH was not aborted. If you place last A on AMPH it is aborted for sure. Do you want that or place it on Bismarck?

[warspite1]

Okay abort Bismarck - are you going to post the usual picture of the combat please?

[Mayhemizer_slith]

End of this round, next round is coming.

TRS was damaged and aborted. Axis AA fire drops by a column.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

To be able to attack in Denmark I need

A) Axis OOS
B) Axis ships aborted from high box

This ain't easy without good NAV even if I roll pretty well on search rolls.

[Mayhemizer_slith]

Allied 10, Axis 8. Combat is over.

Do you want to initiate combat on CSV?
